Jesus 1200 o.O bring more warriors. Is there any t4 footage? Curious to see how crazy it is/

[Shenrien]

You can see other groups in there.

You could in coil, why wouldn't you be able to in savage?

well, the first time we killed A1s/2s we never saw anyone inside, partly because not many other groups had killed when we had, partly just nobody was there at the time prolly

[Kipling]

Also is gunnery pod range based ? some videos i see people seem to only take 2 pod, when we seem to always take 4

Just succor before gunnery if you're having issues.

[Arthars]

apparantly, PT DPS 7200 cannot even get first legs down for A4S

holy crap thats some serious leg work

[Kipling]

You mother fucker.

Succor immediately after hearing the loud "clonk" from the missiles going down and once after Resin/Photon Spaser. Leave the rest to HoT.

[Niiro]

Do the Prey missiles deal splash damage?

Someone was going on about the Prey target moving out of the group but I think they were just mistaking the Gunnery Pod damage for the missiles.

[solracht]

they don't

[Kelenae]

Ya. To double confirm i've always been near who ever has been targeted and never got any splash damage from them.

waiting for decimate nerf.

When I first got decimate, I was horribly underwhelmed... until I got geared up and started seeing those unbuffed 3k crits to everything around me.

[Ramset]

I like how Square just said "fuck it" and put Prey in every Heavensward fight (hyperbole).

Also, no Decimate nerfs f u.

[Lucavi]

I like how Steel Cyclone is moderate damage with absurd hate, and Decimate is moderate hate with surprisingly high damage. Never thought of a tank hitting packs of mobs that hard, but then again, an enraged, screaming, blood-caked idiot flailing an axe around over his head like the star wars kid might be able to do some damage when that thing comes down.

Surprised we don't hurt our allies during our AOE attacks, given the feral nature of berserkers. I suppose that's what the questline is all about.

Dude, no. Stop. pls

You've seen the extent of the idiocy this dev team can go to in pursuit of BALANCE (much less what they think good job design is); you really don't want to even entertain this idea. Just delete the second to last sentence of your post and hope they didn't see it.

[Neon_Sea]

That would be amazing to just decimate a pack of crafting lalafels

...This needs to happen now. Do it, SE.

[Veyron]

My static is behind, as usual, and can't get Faust down. Does anyone have some parses from Faust that I can look at?

[Neon_Sea]

Some basic tips is have healers go ham till 4 stacks, have ot pull mobs close to faust but far enough so party doesnt get cleaved allowing him to dps faust. Make sure people stack well enough so ot doesn't ever have to move to grab an add.

Faust is literally a test dummy for DPS.

If anything parses from the actual fight are less helpful because the presence of the adds inflates the DPS numbers for most jobs.

[solracht]

if only ACT had a way to ignore damage dealt on adds

Spoiler: show

Expand the encounter, expand the Boss, right click on "Incoming Damage", click on "Lookup by Combatant"
